Today we are journeying from Taylor's Island to the town of St. Michael's. There has already been so much that happened. First Mate Ned caught a Sting Ray but it turned out we did not have a big enough net to hold it once it was up out of the water! It fought for about 30 minutes- Quite the fiesty fish.
Projects that the students started yesterday continued today on the boat. Each pair of students had to take a different commercial situation that borders the water- such as a farm or a supermarket, and come up with ways in which the commercial area affected the water. The students then attempted to remedy the different effects on the water using different strategies.
Yesterday after our longest journey we were able to go swimming in a swimming pool! It was very refreshing and really let us all relax. After that we threw a frisbee around and took showers. Everyone was very tired after our day at sea so we fell asleep very early.
Tonight we will be checking out the St Michael's museum and sleeping on their property. We will also be walking into town and checking out some shops. If the kids are good we will be getting some icecream as well- but they don't know that yet!
Feel free to comment, the kids want to know you are reading!

Hello,
It's been two weeks that kids are away from home. Do they miss home made food yet? I'm sure my Sunny misses Chinese food a lot.
If kids do get some ice cream tomorrow, we would love to share that moment. If possible, please take a few pictures. Thank you.
Vicki, Bubba, Lila, Scampi with lots of love.
All we can say is when and where can we sign up! ! !
We have enjoyed charting your course through your messages and seeing your photos. What a wonderful experience that we hope you all will remember forever.
We miss you.

The trip looks awesome. We know the students must be having a great time. Our family and school people are all looking and wishing we were there.
Enjoy the ice cream! We are sure they will earn it.
With love, The Pell/Lee family of Brendan
Hello all!
So glad to hear that you finally had your showers!! It might turn out to be the best of the best today with ice-cream to top it all off - we're sure Christina would love that. Thanks for telling us where you are - we truly enjoy learning about the new places that you have visited, and it feels like we are actually traveling with you. Enjoy the rest of the adventure!
Christina, we can't wait to see you. That virgin pina colada is looking pretty frosty!

Sounds cool! I'm sure you'll be sorry when it's all over. I hope you all are having fun and stay safe!
